Disable forced bitlocker encryption for certain USB devices

Is it possible to specify certain USB removable devices to not be Bitlocker encrypted? Example - A GPS so the user can do updates. I didn't see any way to do this via policy.

No, the reason is this, bitlocker is not going to make any difference between the devices based upon the hardware ID; it only takes the class of the device while applying the policies.

Software needed for the USB device, "USB Interface Controller TEST2.0"

My mother recently acquired a digital camera. She acquired it from a second-hand store, which did not include an interface cable or software. The manual (and the USB port on the camera) indicates that a male-male USB cable is necessary for photos to be copied to the hard drive.
I was not successful in locating such a cable at any local electronics store (I assume such a cable is now out-of-date). I purchased one from a seller on eBay. The brand is "e circuit electronics".
Upon powering up the camera with the cable connected to it and the computer, the following message appeared:
"Software needed for the USB device "USB Interface Controller TEST2.0" is not available. Would you like to look for the software on the Internet?"
I clicked "Yes". After an approximate two-minute wait, another message appeared stating:
"Software Update is not able to connect to the Internet. Please check your configuration and try again."
I deleted, "Software Update Preferences" in the Preferences folder inside the System Folder, without solving the problem. How do I solve the issue of allowing Software Update to connect to the Internet?

Thank you for your continued assistance, BDAqua. Unfortunately, the driver you linked to does not seem to be compatible with the camera. It is a driver for the V20 model, whereas my model would correspond to be a V2755, as referenced from a list of other Vivicam models when during a search at the Open Drivers web site.
From the system requirement about the card reader you gave me, it will not work, as this system is running 9.1. I am hesistant to upgrade this computer to 9.2, as I have experienced system unstability with that version, with even the 9.2.2 update applied.
In the mean time, I have e-mailed Vivitar regarding this issue, but have as of yet received a reply.
I am not certain as to other specifics to give you, in order to solve the Software Update problem. Please elaborate.
Yes eww, the computer in question is able to fully connect to the Internet for all that I need. I am fully aware of the difference between a computer connecting to the Internet, and a computer connecting to a digital camera. I have 15 years of Macintosh experience.

Does anyone know how to get the vendor ID and product ID for a USB device in NI-Visa? TIA

Does anyone know how to get the vendor ID and product ID for a USB device in NI-Visa? TIA

Hello,
Exactly which USB device are you referring to? Is the device a NI product?
The Product ID for National Instruments DAQPad-6020E is 0x12C0. The USB vendor ID is 0x3923. This is a 16-bit hexadecimal number(1093) (that is decimal 4243).
Also, here's a document on our website that will help you in configuring NI-VISA to control your USB device:

G580 Problems re-booting if certain USB devices still attached

I have had several instances when my laptop has failed to boot up - it does that horrible long-winded attempting to restart palaver with scary messages. So far I have always got it up somehow, eventually. This seems to happen if I leave certain USB devices plugged in - they work perfectly fine on my other, cheaper, down-level, laptops, but cause my G580 to completely lose the plot. It is probably my USB 2,0 hub, but might also be my USB 2.0 cheap keyboard. I know the solution is to remove these devices and shutdown before it gets the chance to lose the plot - but is there a fix so that this isn't necessary?

i have had plenty of experience with this exact problem, except mine was worse as even if i plugged ina usb mouse it wouldnt work, and weird things like caps lock locking my mouse movement happenbed anyways.
The fix was to buy a PCI -> USB card, a PCI card with 4 usb ports basically, it was under ten english pounds and fixed all my usb problems.
This is the one i got btw

i didnt look far but i guess thatw as a fair price.

Hello,
apologizes for the misunderstanding.
Regarding security, you might want to have a look at the forum and http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/security.
Back to the original matter, I can tell that modifying or extending the SAP GUI functionality on communication protocol level is quite challenging. The protocol is not published and a binary protocol.
Depending what your intention is, you might want to have a look at [GuiXT|http://www.guixt.com/].
Another approach is to write your own controls for SAP GUI, see [How To Extend SAP GUI for Java with Your Own Java Bean |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/sap-gui?rid=/library/uuid/20e0536f-eaf4-2a10-319d-eb68f8e6cee3] on the [SAP GUI family page|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/sap-gui#section16].

[SOLVED] setting up permissions for mounted usb devices

Hi all,
I've been having the following problem when mounting my external hd: in order to mount the external hd I created a folder /mnt/usbstick/ giving permissions to a non-root user to read the files/directories in this folder (using chmod); however, after I mount the external hd, the set of permissions for /mnt/usbstick/ change so that a non-root user cannot read the mounted files in /mnt/usbstick. This is a problem for me because, when I copy a file from the external hd to the non-root home folder, the copied file can only be read by the root user.
Do you know how I can solve this problem? Should I write a udev rule and place it at /etc/udev/rules.d/? Or should I simply add the non-root user to a specific group from /etc/group? Any ideas?
Thanks!

You could try adding an entry for your usb device in /etc/fstab and specify the option user to let non-superusers mount it.
Here's an example of an entry for my external HD. I'm sure there are probably other (and better) ways to do this but it works for me.
UUID=4376-0BFB /media/FIRELITE vfat rw,user,noauto,async 0 0
Nice howto found on the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab

[Solved]Automating a script for a usb device on systemd?

Solution:See 3rd post by 65kid.
Ok I'm trying to learn how to automate the execution of a script I wrote to run whenever a specific usb device is plugged in. In this case a usb flash drive with a specific partition identified though UUID following the path /dev/disk/by-uuid/specified-partion's-uuid.
Basically the script uses rsync to update a snapshot of my system which I made bootable on this device. following the guide given in the wiki on full system backup using rsync I edited the --exclude options to ignore the contents of my /boot/ /etc/fstab and /etc/mkinitcpio.conf since the fstab entries, hooks array and initramfs and kernel images generated with them needed to be changed so as to make this snapshot bootable and adapted for use on the usb stick.
the ultimate goal is to have a bootable snapshot the can be updated with whatever changes have been made with my system(i.e. pacman -Syu updates,config changes etc...) while leaving out the important things needed to have the usb still bootable afterwards. I've already succeeded at getting the script to work but I have to mount it manually then execute the script myself and I know that it works afterwards as I can still boot from the stick afterwards.
This is not a question about rsync (which is why the script isn't posted here), to repeat myself, It's about how to execute ANY custom script whenever a specific device is plugged in. More specifically when a storage device with a certain uuid is detected after the device has been plugged in. I believe it may be different for running pure systemd and so that was the reasoning for having it mentioned in the subjects title(if I'm wrong then correct my understanding). If anything a few pointers on where to look would be appreciated. I've been googling and reading the wiki a bit with nothing specific on how to approach this. If an example of the script is requested I'll post it but it's not relevent to my question.
For a general veiw of my setup regarding external storage volumes I do not automount anything as I do not use all the things I plug in in the same manner. Some of the stuff I do requires them to be unmounted or mounted to different mount points(specified by me). The script handles the mounting part by itself just fine. The idea I have is to run it automatically when the flash drive is present. Any suggestions?

he is probably referring to this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p1113682
imho this is way different, the SYSTEMD_WANTS tag is completely ok to use. yes, he may be mounting the drive from the script, but imho he is not "exploiting" anything here. I personally don't see a much more elegant way to do this.
these automount udev rules were however crappy and hackish. They were created by people who are like "but udisks is bloat!!1!" and whoever wrote them didn't really seem to know what he was doing because, for example, unmounting a device after it was unplugged from the system is completely non-sense.

Setting Properties for a USB Device

I am using LabView to manipulate a live video feed that is being supplied by a USB device.
One device, a DVC100 (http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Dazzle/Dazzle+Video+Archiving/Dazzle+DVD+Recorder.htm) works perfectly, as long as I set the correct input (S-Video or composite) through a secondary program. I have tried the IMAQ USB Property Page.vi, but it does not access the input selection of the device, it does allow adjustment of some other useful features. The secondary program is NOT device specific, it is a cheap video recording program, much like Windows Movie Maker, which allows for the same input adustment.
I would like to be able to do this IN the vi that I have written, but I am not sure how to access the dll/driver to set the values. I have written something in Visual Basic before using LabVIew that was able to talk to the driver to set the input value. Is there an add-on or special vi that needs to be used to access the driver settings?
I have another USB device, a Pinnacle HD Pro Stick (http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/PCTV+Tuners/PCTV+Analog_Digital+PVR/PCTV+HD+Pro+Stick) that has yet to work with my vi due to the same issue as above: I need to set the driver with specifics of the capture device. Unfortunately, setting the information in a secondary program, like above, does NOT work with this device. I believe the reason is that along with the input selection, this time there is antennae, cable, S-Video and composite, but on top of this is the frequency for the antennae and cable. The error I get from LabView is the following: Error -1074396024 occurred at IMAQ USB Grab Setup.vi Error system.
Is there something I can do in LabView directly, or is this something where I have to make a secondary program in something else to do these adjustments?
Rich

Hi rbergs,
You can use the Call Library Function Node.vi in LabVIEW to make calls to the driver dll for the device. If you have made calls to the driver dll in VB, this should be pretty similar. Please look at this DevZone article for details on using this VI.
Hope this helps.

Prevent certain USB devices from receiving power

I need to prevent devices such as cellphones from receiving power from a USB port while at the same time allowing for other devices that we use in the enterprise to function correctly. I have been unsuccessful in my research. I would like to have this
all done on the local clients so that I can add it into the image for the enterprise. Any help is appreciated.

Hi JustIT28,
As far as I know Windows don’t have the USB device type detection ability, may you can ask your computer hardware vendor for the further help, or you can Bing
the USB security software keywords then choose some third party USB security management software.
I’m glad to be of help to you!

How to build a Labview driver for a USB device?

I have purchased a USB Hall probe (a device that measures magnetic fields) and now I need to build a LabVIEW driver for it (the company that sells this device did not build drivers for it, to keep the price down I suppose). The USB device does come with an operating software, but what I need is to control the device using LabVIEW. I have some experience with LabVIEW, but none with building drivers. I don´t really know where to start, so any advice would be helpful.

To do USB in LabVIEW you'll want to get the NI-VISA driver. After you've got VISA, check out a few examples:
USB Instrument Control Tutorial
Six Things You Need to Know about USB Instrument Control
There are also examples built in to LabVIEW (under Help>>Find Examples to open the NI Example Finder, then under Hardware Input and Output>>VISA)

NI reset function for NI USB device available?

Hi Just wondering if NI does provide reset function for any NI USB device?
Just checking before purchasing NI USB device.
regards,
Clement

Hi Clement,
To add to what Mike said, you will be able to reset the USB device using the DAQmx driver. There are two ways to access this, using the DAQmx application programming interface (API) or in Measurement and Automation Explorer (which gets installed with DAQmx). The DAQmx Reset Device function immediately aborts all running tasks
associated with the device. This action stops and releases any
resources reserved for a task, such as trigger routes.

How can I make a labview application for a usb-device?

I've built an application using the FT8U245AM from FTDI. This is a chip that converts signals into usb signals. Now I want to set parameters using labview. There is a driver provided with the chip, that makes it possible to turn the usb port into a virtual com-port. But how do I continue from here? Do I write my application as if it were a classic serial port device, using VISA, or is it more complicated than this?

We had an RS-232 design that communicated with LabVIEW via the plain old serial commands here that needs to be converted to USB and CAN.
A serial-USB chip was inserted to account for the hip USB transition. As i've been told by the electronics designer, it worked without a flaw (I don't remember the type used however).

Acrobat 6.0 - encrypting for certain identities using certificates

Hello:
Can someone help me.
I am attempting to restrict opening and editing to certain identites a document using certificates.
1st I created a digital ID for myself with a password to be able to get at the document. This works well as I can open the document with the password and others I send this to cannot open the document.
Next I requested a certificate from the other user so that I could set them as a trusted identity. This worked OK as I was able to send the request per the adobe help. They were able to respond and sent me a certificate that apparently they created from a Reader (I do not think they have acrobat).
I was then able to import the requested certificate from email; however, I am not able to add the certificate to my list of trusted identities for encryption. Is there something I am doing wrong? Can someone please advise? This person did have outlook on their computer, so the process was pretty simple. Another test with AOL was not so simple and I am not able to load the certificate at all.
Any input/direction would be appreciated.

Did you check for updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh? You can download updates to Acrobat there. You should generally install the updates in order unless indicated otherwise.
However, it may be that what is being sent to Distiller is the problem, not Distiller itself. What is the error message? How are you creating the input for Distiller? I am not quite sure about the steps on a MAC since I use a PC, but at least these questions should help track down the problem. If you can post the full text of the error (or a screen shot), it would help.

[UDev] No more uuidage for usb device ?

Since udev update, I haven't anymore symlinks in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ for my usb devices.. and I need them
/lib/udev/vol_id seem to have disappear too..
Help °o°

upgraded udev (141-5 -> 145-1)
I have still /dev/disk/by-uuid. But I have got problem too.
When I plug my usb external hard drive in, it took a long time to find it. And later I unplugged the drive, /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 /deb/sdb2 /dev/sdb5 remains...
And my usb drive can't be found as /dev/sdc1 but only /dev/sdc, and it also remains after unplugging.
Another thing I noticed is that on boot, it took only 100ms the udev part, while it was 400+ms before.
Something changed in udev obviously.
Edit::
Just come and report back. After the second reboot after upgrading, my issue has gone.
